Surly Bonds, I feel sorry for you…but I think you must choose to think the way you do, and hence I know I shouldn't worry about it. But doesn't it get tiring being THAT cynical?
Election Prediction Thread

Always been moderate's Dad and son, I even voted for the elder when i turned 18, and my family always voted for him despite being very liberal. This year they voted against him, and it had nothing to do with HIM, all to do with the possible change in power.
And the thing in Rhode Island was INSANE…not sure if that's gonna be good or bad yet…
Will anything change, who knows. The bottom line, people were voting for anything different than the mess we have had the last 4 years or so. The hope of something different meant far more to voters than the actual dems they were voting for.
Whats the shocker in Rhode Island? It cant be Chafee, he has been behind in the polls since mid-july. Am I missing something?
Originally posted by Surly Bonds:You are, with your mindless, uninformed cynicism posing as clever banter. Do you understand how the majority party in Congress controls the legislative process? Do you understand how laws are proposed and enacted? How justices are appointed to the Supreme Court? Your original post shows that you don't, and that's a shame.
Originally posted by Relaxer:So you take your magical worldview on what the newspaper says, eh?
That is a dumb dumb thing to say. Read a newspaper some time, you'll learn all sorts of magical, intelligent things.
Who's the dumb dumb now, dumb dumb?
A newspaper reports on the news of the day, along with analysis and details, to allow readers to form their opinions knowledgeably and critically. I'm sorry that you get your magical worldview from TV shows and comic books because the result is just another dipshit, naive citizen who uses sarcasm to make up for ignorance. Good luck with that.

wanna hate foreigners even more? check out this article on CNN. below are a few quotes:
From Paris to Pakistan, politicians, analysts and ordinary citizens said they hoped the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives would force President Bush to adopt a more conciliatory approach to the globe's laundry list of crises, and teach a president many see as a "cowboy" a lesson in humility. (…)
Regardless of the effect on world events, global giddiness that Bush was finally handed a political black-eye was almost palpable throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
In an extraordinary joint statement, more than 200 Socialist members of the European Parliament hailed the American election results as "the beginning of the end of a six-year nightmare for the world" and gloated that they left the Bush administration "seriously weakened." (…)
One Frenchman, teacher Jean-Pierre Charpemtrat, 53, said it was about time U.S. voters figured out what much of the rest of the world already knew. "Americans are realizing that you can't found the politics of a country on patriotic passion and reflexes," he said. "You can't fool everybody all the time – and I think that's what Bush and his administration are learning today." (…)
In Copenhagen, Denmark, 35-year-old Jens Langfeldt said he did not know much about the midterm elections but was opposed to Bush's values. He referred to the president as "that cowboy." (…)
Passions were even higher in Pakistan, where Bush is deeply unpopular despite billions in aid and staunch support for President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
One opposition lawmaker, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, said he welcomed the election result but was hoping for more. Bush "deserves to be removed, put on trial and given a Saddam-like death sentence," he said. (…)
Some also worried that Democrats, who have a reputation for being more protective of U.S. jobs going overseas, will make it harder to achieve a global free trade accord. And in China, some feared the resurgence of the Democrats would increase tension over human rights and trade and labor issues. China's surging economy has a massive trade surplus with the United States. (..)

So, how is believing in the newspapers & the supreme court working out for you? Does it succor your ego? Do you enjoy it? Then keep it up.
ATTENTION: Relaxer Declares US No Longer Corrupt As Of Yesterday! Stop the press!
As for me, I believe in swordfish.
Word up - San Francisco now leads the House. We won't let you down - I promise!
Originally posted by Surly Bonds:i always thought you were extracted from a split effect event known as the palahniuk syndrome. i never assumed the election in itself could be studied as a needed signpost humans enjoy because of the fact it makes them feel all together now. and the us of u.s. makes up just a sliver of the corrupt governments, so i would just keep on typing and listening to nice music because we could be the congo, or chile, or kazakhstan where "we hang those gay people from the trees."
Who really gives a flying donut about the election?
I predict it won't make the slightest difference in anything. Will the US suddenly become a less corrupt nation?
Now imagine that your pain is a white ball of healing light. That's right, your pain, the pain itself is a white ball of healing light.
I don't think so.
You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We are all part of the same compost heap. We are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

The Webb camp is speculating that Allen is going to conceed this one, and step in to run in '08 when John Warner retires, since a presidential run is all but out at this point. We haven't seen the last of old Macacca just yet!
Does this mean we'll never see his band play again?
